Thanks Everyone! :

Thanks Everyone! :

A huge thank you to all of those of you who came out last night for the unveiling of “Beauty in the Midst of Voices: part I.” And a gigantic thank you to my father: He bought three pieces! Thank you so much for your support. Aside from selling a few of my originals opening night, I was also able to sell a few prints, so things went pretty well!

We will be doing it all over again in February, as there will be a separate opening night then, one in which will be advertised in a better manner than this one, since there was no ad that went out in the paper for this one. Moreover, during the one in February , I hope to include some additional drawings.

A 'Lil Worried  But the Show Must Go On ! ! !

I just found out today that a great part of the the staff over at the Mental Health Association has left, and along with them went the woman who was in charge of my exhibition there. As a result of the diminishing staff, when the newsletter went of for the Mental Health Aassociation, my Artist Bio did not get sent out along with it. Usually as well, the Mental Health Association would place an ad in the paper, as well, in order to advertise for the featured artist of the month, but that has not happened as of yet in my case because of the recent staff change. On my part I've already begun to send out some invitations but I don't think that the Mental Health Association will get the type of crowd this month that they are usually accustomed to as with their other artists, which is simply unfair to me. But luckily I am also the featured artist for the month of February 2012 so, hopefully, advertisement will go out for that month.

Happy New Years!

Happy New Years!

Happy New Years to all of the reader’s of The Blog of SamDoum Art by SamDoum! I haven’t posted to my blog in what seems like a short while. I’ve instead been taking some time out to enjoy family and friends, and to prepare for my exhibition at the Mental Health Association of Rochester, New York. But I wanted to take this time out to say thank you to all of my reader’s and I just wanted to wish you all a very, very, very happy New Year. May the Lord bless you all with everything your heart desires this 2012! I will be posting more in upcoming days, so keep reading and enjoy!

Until then, please enjoy some of my writing and art!

The Finished Piece from Voting Day Unveiled

The Finished Piece from Voting Day Unveiled

Okay, so only two people have commented and voted on which composition that I should use as inspiration for my drawing this Sunday of December 4th, 2011. And since these two people selected entirely different images, I had to play the tie breaker and voted for “Image One” myself. But who knows: I may select “Image Three” for my composition some other time in the near future. So here’s the finished piece using somewhat of an artistic license through the use of plant life in my composition:

 

 "Us" (Pastel on Illustration Board)

(Inspiration for "Us" was taken from the Photo Above)

In other news, I just successfully framed my first piece for my exhibit “Beauty in the Midst of Voices,” Too excited! The finished piece looks great in its frame. You may come view this particular piece that I speak of in this particular paragraph (as well as others) at my exhibit “Beauty in the Midst of Voices,” at the Mental Health Association of Rochester, here in Rochester, New York during the months of January and February 2012. Opening night for “Beauty in the Midst of Voices” is January 6th, 2012 @ 6:00 p.m., So please come out to attend! I would love for you to join me during the viewing of some really terrific art work !!

That’s all for now blogpost friends. And stay tuned . . . I will be uploading some new art work onto my online gallery and store over at SamDoumArt.com in the next upcoming days! Enjoy!
